Weather forecasts, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location from various relationships such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasts are activities that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically based on the observation of cloud patterns, wind, and the time of year, although initially these they were not very successful.
It was not until the emergence of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that made it possible to achieve more accurate predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transportation (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsthis beyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit put on.
